Jean in Newcastle Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 It's the weekend and I can clean if I want to. . . . Zumba first thing in the a.m. (after breakfast). Make sure I wear my volunteer shirt. Today is my day to officially help in Zumba, not that I do anything different from the days that I help unofficially. . . :hat: Grading at the Y while I wait for dd11 to finish volunteering. :hat: Clean kitchen. But first I have to go to the store and buy dishwasher detergent, and peanut butter, and oranges, and frozen fruit and Ezekiel bread. . . :hat: Continue to TSP walls and ceiling in the cat's bathroom. Sunday school prep. :hat: Ds has almost a full day of school to do - all stuff that he didn't get done during the week. I was hoping to go to the luthier's with him. Might not have the time. Dd volunteers again from 4:30 - 9:00 pm. I don't think I have to be on the premises. :hat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanvan Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I love posting on days like today.......I have nothing to tackle! Took Dd to her 4H sewing club this morning. Now we are getting ready to drop Dc off at grandparents and Dh and I are having a late lunch out at a favorite British place that serves real clotted cream. Then we are going to pick out phones after passing around an old flip phone for years. Only other thing I might attempt is some of my lists inspired by Getting Things Done and starting on school plans for this week---that's if my in-laws don't keep us there talking too long!

Amira Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 We've cleaned the church in record time, been to the library to return books, and to the mall to exchange a shirt. We're eating a lunch of leftover Panera bread that a friend at the church had. And the laundry is in the washing machine to hang soon. I'll take one son to basketball in a bit and run some other errands while he's there and I have the car. And I need to figure out something for dinner that is filling, nutritious, and popular with everyone since we'll be fasting for 24 hours after that. That is a very difficult expectation to meet with this family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughing lioness Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Got Share it Saturdayup and the linky is working (come play!) Laundry folded and put away meat for the week cooking in crock pot, chix shredded wrote 2000 words made breakfast, cleaned kitchen. Dh is putting together the saw to cut the trim for the 2nd floor!! WOOHOOO! (now he just needs to get better so that we can actually cut the trim!) ds 18 is picking up dd9 from sleepover, dep. checks and putting in app for p.t. job (no physical effort on my part, but some mental...) Still to do: Write another 1500 words Read Switch and Film making book File papers for GTD- I have a filing system that is actually working!! Errands list (vs. putting errands to do on a particular day) has made errands so much MORE manageable, and much less of a I hate errands issue for me.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 11:30 check in: Zumba done and it was a doozy! I was pouring with sweat. it was packed too because it is January. In about two months it will go back to the regulars. Talked to the instructor and offered to do one cha-cha with her next time. What was I thinking?! (She was happy because she keeps asking me to do a song.) Next - grade ds' chemistry test. I am afraid of doing it but I have to do it anyway.

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 I have totally flaked this afternoon. I sat and finished an Anne Perry Mystery. After dinner I've been working on my Sunday school lesson. Ds is STILL working on the work he owes me. I am now going to actually do a bit of grading - what I owe him.

Now when I have down time I'll think to myself "Well, there was that one day when Jean read that mystery." Really, you deserve some down time. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, you deserve some down time. :) :lol: Well, I am trying to make up for years when I didn't do very much. I just finished grading the chemistry test - he got a C+ which is frankly a lot better than I thought he might do. And I got done with one geometry assignment. I still have two Latin assignments to grade and am waiting for his last geometry assignment. Dh has lured ds away from his work though with Flashpoint.

Tap Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I emptied a desk/ and a file cabinet/hutch, put them in the garage to go on Craigslist. It was a 2 hour project LOL Man there was a lot of things in there!!! Bought a new Ikea shelf to organize dd6s things as she comes in the door. She had started dumping her backpack, shoes, lunchbox in the kitchen floor and I am getting really tired of it. This should help tremendously! This sits where the old file cabinet/hutch used to be. I wasn't sure how dh was going to feel about my project (he just got back in town tonight), but he is really happy with it :0) I buried my kitchen counter with things from the desk/hutch but they have to wait until after work tomorrow to deal with. I found homes for about 1/2 of it, but much of what is left, I am at a loss for where to put it. I almost made a HUGE mess! I was moving a rack with 8 bottles of wine in it and dropped 3 bottles of red wine onto a 2 month old carpet. They hit my husbands $300 printer on the way down. I can not belive that the printer didn't break, nor did the wine. I absolutely expected there to be some major damage as they were falling, but not a single drop spilled.
